Initial KenPom 2024-25

My problem is Kenpom assumes teams “should” win by certain margins and if a team goes 15-0 but only wins by an average of 4 points, he assumes they’ll regress to losing some games.

It’s a style points system that tries to integrate individualized past performance into a team game.

I would be fine with it if I never saw it in a composure box when February NCAA hopefuls emerge.
Well yeah there’s a logic to if you’re perpetually playing close games against all opponent types something is limited.

But overall yes results matter to me and should to everyone first. If you’re living a charmed life by going 25-5 and won every game close so be it. 25-5 is 25-5.
